[ENet-discuss] TCP or reliable ENet?

[Lee Salzman]

I will put it this way: the OS developers have put more effort and 
optimization into their TCP implementation than my reliable data 
transfer stuff in ENet. So if you really need to send a lot of bulk data 
reliably, then TCP is probably the way to go.

Where ENet is better is when you need to send a mixed 
reliable/unreliable data stream, and where the bulk of the data is 
unreliable.
